Whether it was the local Han Chinese, or the strangers in strange costumes, they were indeed deeply hostile to those who suddenly intruded into their area.

But it doesn't matter, hostility or hatred. So many people have entered this place, plus they are still under the pretext of the will of the emperor of the court, and they also have the identity of the real royal brother, Marquis Wu Yong is sitting here, and there are military generals, so if they have any opinions or dissatisfactions, they just take them to heart, and they don't dare to seriously have a conflict.

Under the general trend, they can only surrender.

Soon, they were counted, not counting the thousands of Qiang people who were not in the city, and there were only about 8,000 people in the city.

Liu Xian asked Li Yuan to register and keep their original property in Zengshan County, including their houses and fields outside the city. Then, Li Yuan sent craftsmen who knew how to build among the people who had just migrated from their local area or migrated here, and first helped them, renovated their houses, and gave them food relief if they were really in difficulty.

These actions and behaviors were immediately recognized by these local people, who were still hostile. After figuring out what these people came to their place for and what they came for, they were more welcoming.

Justified or not, the benefits they have obtained now are real, and they can immediately no longer be afraid of those aliens, and they do have a sense of surprise that they have turned over and become masters.

As for the aliens who are still in the city, they are relatively not too populous. That's probably less than 2,000 people. The aliens who still remain in the city are actually more sinicized, and they are accustomed to the settlement method of the Han people, and they are unwilling to live the kind of herding life without a fixed place. This part of the people, although they usually bully some local Han people, but there is no great evil, and now, they are extremely submissive and dare not blow up again.

Liu Xian only brought 300 personal soldiers, followed by Wang Yue and Wang Qing's master and apprentice, to a small plain in a mountain about 20 miles away from Zengshan County.

It is mentioned that Zhang Ning was left in the Wuyong Marquis Mansion in the capital by Liu Xian, after all, several of his women are still in the mansion, and they can't be without a master. And, of course, three hundred pro-soldiers. Among them, two hundred personal soldiers belonged to the name of Ma Guiren, and one hundred people followed Ma Guiren to the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum Palace, leaving one hundred people in the plain palace in the city, so that the Wuyong Marquis Mansion was actually only guarded by one hundred personal soldiers.

But Liu Xian believes that this is enough, in the disaster relief materials procurement camp outside the city, there are hundreds of people, among them, hundreds of people are the part of the training of martial arts when they recruited pro-soldiers, during this time, there are indeed many people with their own efforts, breaking through the bottleneck, becoming quasi-military generals. This part of the people was deliberately left in the procurement camp by Liu Xian as emergency manpower.

Now, Liu Xian has Wang Yue and Wang Qing by his side, and Liu Xian thinks that it is enough to deal with the current situation.

Liu Xian came here to solve the problem of this Qiang tribe.

At this time, it is already in the afternoon, and the sun has already set in the west, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will completely sink into the mountain.

Before Liu Xian's trip arrived, he had already been discovered by the sentinels of the Qiang tribe, and when Liu Xian arrived at the entrance gate of their tribesmen, they were already in full battle, and their soldiers were on the earthen wall at the pass of the small plain in the mountains, with their bows and arrows wound.

"Who is coming, this place is the territory of our Zengshan Qiang tribe, and idlers are not allowed to enter! If you get any closer, it will be regarded as a provocation to your own tribe, and you will definitely be wiped out by your own tribe! ”

Above the earthen wall, a strong man shouted.

Liu Xian stopped Wang Yue and Wang Qing, who were accompanying him, and motioned for the three hundred soldiers who came together to stop in place.

The horse stepped forward and arrived twenty or thirty steps below the gate of the village.

Liu Xian clenched his fists and said to the shouting Qiang people on the gatehouse of Tuzhai: "Hello! Who are you, friend above? What do you call it? I am Liu Xian, the young son of the palace of the plains of the Great Han Dynasty. Oh, you may not know much about this, in fact, I am the younger brother of the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xian, Marquis of Wuyong. This time, on the orders of the emperor, hundreds of thousands of people who had been displaced to the capital of Luoyang due to the disaster were relocated to Zengshan County to settle down. And you, the Qiang people, are the aborigines of Zengshan County, so it is reasonable for me to lead these hundreds of thousands of people here now, and I must first visit you in-situ people. And I would like to discuss with you how we, the Han people who have moved here, and you Qiang people in the future, how can we make both sides live in harmony, live together, become rich, and live a better life. ”

"It's you! Hum! ”

The person who spoke on the upper floor of the walled city snorted coldly, and said in a rough voice: "I am the leader of this tribe, go to Liyue." What do you think? Yesterday you drove the leader out of Zengshan County, and today you want to come and provoke again? Let me tell you, our Qiang tribe is not afraid of you Han people! ”

"To Liyue?"

Liu Xian felt that the name of this Qiang tribal leader was a bit strange, and he had rarely heard of such a name.

Of course, it's not surprising that the names of aliens are all bizarre.

In fact, Ricci was one of the eight later party departments. And this is indeed the birthplace of Ritchie in this area. Well, this, now the area around Shangjun has been regarded by the Huns as their own land, and the area inside and outside the Great Wall is the boundary of Shuofang by them, and they have also divided Shangjun into some administrative districts, and the area around Zengshan County is actually a county called Hexi County by the Huns.

Liu Xian didn't expect that Xiang Lishi, one of the eight party departments, would now live in Zengshan County.

"How? We have nothing to discuss with you Han Chinese. You're not welcome here! ! ”

On the tower of the city, Xiang Liyue did not wait to see Liu Xian's shouting.

"It turns out that you occupy the official office of Zengshan County?" Liu Xian did not leave, nor did he shout unceremoniously and impolitely because of the other party, but still hugged his fist to the above.

"That's right! But don't say it so ugly, what is Zhan? Our Qiang tribe is already nominally the people of your Han Dynasty, if we really occupy your county government office, wouldn't this be tantamount to rebellion? At present, our tribe has no plans to rebel. You should say that it was the officials of your Han government that were not effective, and they couldn't even keep Zengshan County, and the officials of the government didn't know where they had gone for a long time, and we just saw that the official office looked okay, so we lived for a while, how about it? Isn't it possible? Isn't it already back to you? ”

Liu Xian waved his hand below and said, "Brother Liyue, I, Liu Xian, am not here to ask for the guilt, and I will not pursue these trivial matters." I really came here for peace, and I want to talk to you about it, don't you think it's tiring for us to talk like this? Why don't you open the gate and let me in, and let's have a good talk. ”

"You want to come in?"

"yes, how can we talk if we don't go in?"

"But our Qiang tribe will never let non-clansmen enter our territory."

"There is an exception to everything, don't worry, you have just said it yourself, your Qiang tribe has also been obedient to my Han for many years, and you are the people of the Han Dynasty. And I, Liu Xian, came to settle hundreds of thousands of displaced people on the orders of the emperor, and at the same time, I will also provide some assistance to the local people. To put it bluntly, your Qiang tribe is also among my relief, of course, the premise is that you must obey the orders of the Han government and let me know some of the situation of your tribe. ”

"Relief? Will your Han court be so kind and will help us foreigners in your Han population? ”

"The saying of aliens has existed since ancient times, and it is nothing that people who are not of their own race are called aliens. On the other hand, aren't we Han people also aliens in the hearts of your Qiang people? But whether it is the Han nationality or your Qiang nationality, in fact, they are all Chinese people and the people of the Han Dynasty. It doesn't matter what others do, but in the eyes of my Liu Xian, you are all Han people, and I will definitely treat everyone equally, and I will definitely not despise and despise you because you are Qiang. Hey, I said it's so tiring to talk like that. Liu Xian said.

"Let you in...... But your people will not come in. ”

"Okay, I'll take ten people inside." Liu Xiandao.

"That's ...... All right. The leader of the Qiang people on the city tower hesitated, but agreed.

Seeing this, Liu Xian nodded, then rode his horse back and made some gestures to Wang Yue.

followed Wang Yue and Wang Qing with a few personal soldiers, and the three hundred people who came together found a place to wait.

The gates of the walled city rattled open.

Xiang Liyue and his people waited inside, and they all looked at each other, with swords and spears raised, and bows and arrows wound.

"Lord, let's just go in with these few people?" Wang Yue whispered and caught up with Liu Xiandao.

"It's okay, this Qiang tribe is different from the ordinary Huns, they have a fixed territory, not the kind of mobile nomadism, plus, their tribe is not big or small, there are a lot of concerns, and they will not easily become enemies with us." Liu Xian's impression of the Qiang people is still good, at least this tribe is not the kind of vicious alien people who cannot be sinicized.

If this Qiang tribe really dared to oppose the Han government and rebel, they would not have easily cedered the official office of Zengshan County yesterday.

Therefore, Liu Xian is still confident in subduing this Qiang tribe.

Facing the knives and guns in the walled city, Liu Xian turned a blind eye, and after riding his horse in, he jumped off the horse, strode through the knives and guns, and walked in front of Xiang Liyue.

"Hehe, Patriarch Xiang Liyue, well, let's call you the patriarch, do you want to give me a dismount? Let's go, take me to your tent, and taste the wine and barbecue made by your Qiang people. ”

Liu Xian said to Li Yue with a relaxed face.

"Uh...... You, you're different from the average Han Chinese. Good! For your courage in the face of my people's warriors, I will invite you to drink the best wine of our tribe, the best roast mutton, when I go to Liyue. Please! ”

Xiang Liyue really seemed to be a little bit and began to admire Liu Xian. Especially recently, he saw that Liu Xian's age did not seem to be very old, just a teenager, about the same age as his sister.

When you enter it, there is a small plain in the mountains, and on the plain, there are basically some cattle, sheep and horses at a glance.

"Now that spring is coming, when the time comes, our people will drive these cattle and sheep outside to graze, and they will come back in winter." Xiang Liyue saw that Liu Xian was very interested in his cattle, sheep and horses, and said on the side: "Of course, we will leave the old people and children, and leave half of the young people to guard this station, and we will learn from you to farm, so that our tribe will get better and better." It's a pity...... Alas, it's okay not to say it......"

"Say, why don't you say it?" Liu Xian really wanted to know about the survival methods and living conditions of these alien tribesmen.

"What is there to say? It's not your government's problem? The food grown by the tribesmen who have been left behind is not enough for you. Therefore, now many people are reluctant to farm anymore, our tribe, there are still some tribes who are insisting, and more tribes like us, they have long stopped farming, and they are mainly grazing. But in this way, we have a hard time grazing. Often, for a meadow, they fought with each other, and many people died. Besides, now we only have a place within the Great Wall, west of the Fen River, where we can graze, and we can't go out of the city to the desert to graze. If we drive the cattle and sheep out of the customs, we may not be able to come back when the time comes. ”

"Well, I see, now the Huns are really restless, you drive cattle and sheep out of the customs, and if you go to the desert, maybe they will be robbed." Liu Xian can imagine some problems.

"Isn't it? If you want to go out of the customs to the desert to graze, then you must go with some Xiongnu tribes in the pass, but this is to pay them a protection fee. And it's not a guarantee of security. Sometimes, they Huns themselves will rob. ”

"Well, I know something about this, because the Huns also have a lot of tribes, and between the various tribes, they don't obey each other, and even the current Xiongnu Shan Yu is difficult to command some Xiongnu tribes. It is said that the Huns will have some big moves in the near future. ”

"Really? It's still a big man like you who knows some things, and we of the small tribes don't know much about it......"

"To Liyue, my name is Liu Xian, nominally I am indeed the brother of the king, the clan of the Han family, and the Marquis of Wuyong, but you don't have to think of me as a big man, if you look up to me, we will be called brothers, I call you Brother Liyue!"

"Oh? This...... Is this really possible? ”

"Yes, what's not to do?"

"Okay, then I'll call you Liu Xian's little brother?"

"Okay! Hey? This is your tent? It's pretty big. ”

"Haha, brother, you don't know anything, we tribes, the camp is a status symbol! Because the tent is big enough, it can hold more wealth and more women, and it can also appear that the tribe is prosperous and powerful. ”
